I am always curious about expectations,What we expect from others,What they expect from us,And do any of us have the right to expect anything of anyone,Hmmm…Right off the bat, I am going to say at a minimum,We shouldn’t expect anything we aren’t willing to give,But this morning I am going to talk about BOOK EXPECTATIONS,What is it we expect from the books we read,If I am reading for work,And I read a lot, much of what I do is read to stay abreast,Of federal law, regulations and the like,Then I want concise, clear information that is practical and applicable to what,I need,So that I can pass it on in the same manner,When reading for pleasure,I want a story that engages, entertains, potentially inform,That will make me want to know what else is going to occur,Take me away, so to speak,When I am reviewing,I don’t expect anything,Absolutely nothing,Going in I assume nothing,I will allow the book to do what books do,Tell it’s story,Then as I read it I will look for,Readability,Plot,Pacing,Editing, etc.Then I think about it,And sometimes read it again,Then I write my review based on that…I guess that works for me, because that is my approach to most things,Assume nothing and come out pleased and appreciative when it works,But able to go on to the next book when it doesn’t…Weird chick, huh?
